Re: [TUHS] How good a representative of System V is Solaris

As a long-time Linux user and a long time Unix history buff, I've been wanting to "play" with classic Unix variants for quite some time. Obviously, Research Unix up through V7 and the BSDs are readily available and I've at least mucked around with them, but post-V7 AT&T Unices have always been unavailable, at least at any price that I can afford on my college student budget. Solaris, however, at least started out as an implementation of SVR4 and is freely available. How much of System V still lurks inside Solaris 10 (the last version to include such traditional workstation elements as CDE and DPS in the X server) and how much has been removed in favor of a more GNU-ish userland experience? Is Solaris a good way to get a System V experience without breaking either the bank or copyright law, or is this a hopeless situation?
